Press Release |

CINCINNATI -- The Reds Hall of Fame and Museum's collectible gift program continues in 2014 with five bobbleheads presented by Dinsmore & Shohl LLP.

The first bobblehead in the series, featuring former Reds manager Sparky Anderson, will be available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the month of May with full-price admission to the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum beginning on Friday, May 2 at 10 am. Only 6,000 bobbleheads have been produced and there is a limit of one bobblehead per visitor per day.

The bobblehead depicts Sparky with his arm outstretched, pointing toward the bullpen and signaling for a right-handed pitcher to come into the game. He was coined "Captain Hook" for his frequent pitching changes, a reputation immortalized in this bobblehead. Sparky's effective use of the Big Red Machine's talented corps of relievers helped revolutionize the role of relief pitchers throughout baseball.

The bobblehead series, presented by Dinsmore & Shohl LLP, continues each month through September with a different Reds legend in a classic pose that highlights an iconic moment or image from their Reds career:

• May: Sparky Anderson

• June: Jim O'Toole

• July: Eric Davis

• August: Barry Larkin

• September: Pete Rose

Admission to the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum is $10 for adults, $8 for students/seniors and $6 for active military/veterans.

The best way to ensure a bobblehead is to join the Hall of Fame & Museum as a member:

• $200 MVP and $1,000 World Champion memberships get all five bobbleheads plus additional perks and gifts.
